SillyTavern 1.11.7

Important news

1. This update includes a substantial update to the Instruct Mode formatting. Since all of the default templates were updated, you may experience merge conflicts on git pull if you updated default instructs/contexts. To fix, make a backup, then do git reset --hard before pulling again.
2. You may also need to adjust your custom instruct templates to the new format if you previously used workarounds for ST's format limitations. See the documentation for more info: https://docs.sillytavern.app/usage/core-concepts/instructmode/
3. The "Tags as Folders" setting now requires manually enabling which tags are classified as folders. You can do this in the Tag Management menu.
4. External media files can now be individually allowed/forbidden for every character and group. The setting to forbid external media will be enabled in the next release by default. Make sure to manually enable media in advance where required.
